Hello,
I'm a new member in the forum. I installed Solus xfce, but the keyboard layout section is empty. I can't add another language.
How can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Have you updated and rebooted your system since installing?

    This weeks sync notes state:

    First up, a couple of issues with the new XFCE Edition have been fixed. The screensaver application will now be installed by default. Additionally, the keyboard layout settings page will now be populated with settings instead of being blank.

    I assume this is your issue.

    Harvey If I download a new solus xfce iso now, does that mean these patches are in effect? Are they installed by default in the solus xfce iso

      No. The ISO just gets you installed. The fixes came after the ISO was released, there will be updates available for you to install now, we tend make a new batch of updates available every Friday / Saturday depending on where you live in the world and what we have planned.

      You can check for and install updates through the "Software Center" found in your system menu (Start Menu) or you can run this from the terminal if you prefer sudo eopkg up -y after updating is complete it is a good idea to reboot as some things require it such as kernel updates. Once you have done that your problem should be resolved.

      Thank you very much for the comprehensive information.

      Hi, I have noticed that when running the Calamares installer for the XFCE version that the keyboard layout which is displayed in the installer, is present but does not show any actual key details.

      The keys are there but they are all blank. I will try to provide a screenshot.
